      Corporate Governance

      Former Controlled Company Status. Match Group is subject to the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Marketplace Rules”). The Marketplace Rules exempt “controlled companies,” or companies of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company, from certain requirements. Prior to the Separation, Former IAC controlled a majority of the voting power of Former Match Group capital stock. Based on 18,461,879 shares of Former Match Group common stock and 209,919,402 shares of Former Match Group Class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Separation, Former IAC beneficially owned equity securities of Former Match Group representing approximately 97.4% of the total voting power of Former Match Group capital stock. On this basis, Former Match Group relied on the exemption for controlled companies from certain Nasdaq requirements through the closing of the Separation on June 30, 2020, specifically, those that would have otherwise required that:

      a majority of Former Match Group’s Board of Directors consist of “independent” directors, as such term is defined in the Marketplace Rules (the “Majority Independent Board Requirement”); and

      Former Match Group have a nominating/governance committee comprised entirely of “independent” directors with a written charter addressing such committee’s purpose and responsibilities (the “Nominating Committee Requirement”).

      As of June 30, 2020, following the closing of the Separation, Match Group was not a controlled company and was required to comply with all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements, including the Majority Independent Board Requirement and Nominating Committee Requirement. As discussed in further detail below, Match Group has been in compliance with each of the Majority Independent Board Requirement and Nominating Committee Requirement since the closing of the Separation.

      Board Leadership Structure.    The Company's Match Group’s business and affairs are overseen by its Board of Directors, which currently has twelveeleven members. There are threeis one management representativesrepresentative on the Board and, of the nine remainingother ten current directors, eight are independent. The Board has standing Audit, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating Committees, each comprised solely of independent directors, as well as an Executive Committee.directors. For more information regarding director independence and our Board Committees, see the discussion below under "Director Independence" beginning on page 13the headings Director Independence and The Board and Board Committees beginning on page 15.Committees. All of our directors play an active role in Board matters, are encouraged to communicate among themselves and directly with the Chairman and Senior Executive and Chief Executive Officer and have full access to CompanyMatch Group management at all times.

       Our

      Match Group’s independent directors meet in scheduled executive sessions without management present at least twice a year and may schedule additional meetings as they deem appropriate. We doThe Match Group Board does not have a lead independent director or any other formally appointed leader for these sessions. The independent membership of ourthe Audit, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating Committees ensures that directors with no ties to Company management are charged with oversight for all financial reporting and executive compensation related decisions made by CompanyMatch Group management, as well as for recommending candidates for Board membership. At each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the Chairperson or other member of each of these committees (as and if applicable) provides the full Board with an update of all significant matters discussed, reviewed, considered and/or approved by the relevant committee since the last regularly scheduled Board meeting.

      Risk Oversight.    Company Match Group management is responsible for assessing and managing the Company'sMatch Group’s exposure to various risks on a day-to-day basis, which responsibilities include the creation of appropriate risk management programs and policies. Company managementManagement has developed and implemented guidelines and policies to identify, assess and manage significant risks facing the Company. In developing this framework, the Company recognizedMatch Group recognizes that leadership and success are impossible without taking risks; however, the imprudent acceptance of risks or the failure to appropriately identify and mitigate risks could adversely impact stockholder value. The Board is responsible for overseeing Company management in the execution of its responsibilities and for


      Table of Contents

      assessing the Company'sMatch Group’s approach to risk management. The Board exercises these responsibilities periodically as part of its meetings and through discussions with Company management, as well as through the Board'sBoard’s Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees, which examine various components of financial and compensation-related risks, respectively, as part of their responsibilities. Information security is a key component of risk management at Match Group and our Chief Technology Officer briefs the Audit Committee each quarter, and the full Board as appropriate, on the Company’s information security program and its related priorities and controls. In addition, an overall review of risks is inherent in the Board'sBoard’s consideration of the Company'sCompany’s long-term strategies and in the transactions and other matters presented to the Board, including significant capital expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures and financial matters. The Board'sBoard’s role in risk oversight of the Company is consistent with the Company'sMatch Group’s leadership structure, with the Chairman and Senior Executive, Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company'sCompany’s risk exposure, and the Board and its committees providing oversight in connection with thosethese efforts.


      Compensation Risk Assessment. We periodically conduct risk assessments of our compensation policies and practices for our employees, including those related to our executive compensation programs. The goal of these assessments is to determine whether the general structure of the Company'sMatch Group’s compensation policies and programs and the administration of these programs pose any material risks to the Company. The findings of any risk assessment are discussed with the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. Based upon our assessments, we believe that our compensation policies and programs do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      Hedging Policies and Practices. Match Group’s policy on securities trading provides that no director, officer or employee of Match Group and its businesses may engage in transactions in publicly traded options, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities, relating to Match Group securities, or engage in short sales with respect to Match Group securities. This prohibition extends to any and all forms of hedging and monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts (among others).

      Director Independence. Under the Marketplace Rules, of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the "Marketplace Rules"), the Board has a responsibility to make an affirmative determination that those members of the Board who serve as independent directors do not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In connection with the independence determinations described below, the Board reviewed information regarding transactions, relationships and arrangements relevant to independence, including those required by the Marketplace Rules. This information is obtained from director responses to questionnaires circulated by Company management, as well as from Company records and publicly available information. Following these determinations, CompanyMatch Group management monitors those transactions, relationships and arrangements that were relevant to such determinations, as well as periodically solicits updated information potentially relevant to independence from internal personnel and directors, to determine whether there have been any developments that could potentially have an adverse impact on the Board'sBoard’s prior independence determinations.

       

      In February 2017,March 2021, the Board determined that each of Mses. Brenner, McDaniel, Murdoch and Seymon and Messrs. Bronfman, Eisner, Lourd, Rosenblatt,Bailey, McInerney, Reynolds and Spoon and Zannino and Mses. Clinton and Hammer is independent. In connection with these determinations, the Board considered that in some cases in the ordinary course of business, IACMatch Group and its businesses sell products and services to, purchase products and services from co-invest with, develop and produce projects with and/or make donations to entitiescompanies at which certain directors are employed or serve as directors, or over which certain directors otherwise exert control. Furthermore, the Board considered whether there were any payments made to (or received from) such entities by IACMatch Group and its businesses. No relationships or payments considered were determined to be of the type that would:would (i) preclude a finding of director independence under the Marketplace Rules or (ii) otherwise interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of athe director.

       Of the remaining incumbent directors, Messrs. Diller, Kaufman and Levin are executive officers of the Company and Mr. von Furstenberg is Mr. Diller's stepson. Given these relationships, none of these directors is independent.

      In addition to the satisfaction of the director independence requirements set forth in the Marketplace Rules, members of the Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees have


      Table of Contents

      also satisfied separate independence requirements under the current standards imposed by the SEC and the Marketplace Rules for audit committee members and by the SEC, the Marketplace Rules and the Internal Revenue Service for compensation committee members.

      Director Nominations. The Nominating Committee of the Board identifies reviews and evaluates individuals qualified to become Board members and recommends candidates toof the Match Group Board. While there are no specific requirements for eligibility to serve as a director of IAC,Match Group, in evaluating candidates, the Nominating Committee will consider (regardless of how the candidate was identified or recommended) whether the professional and personal ethics and values of the candidate are consistent with those of IAC,Match Group, whether the candidate'scandidate’s experience and expertise would be beneficial to the Board, whether the candidate is willing and able to devote the necessary time and energy to the work of the Board and whether the candidate is prepared and qualified to represent the best interests of IAC'sMatch Group’s stockholders. While the Board does not have a formal diversity policy, the Nominating Committee also considers the overall diversity of the experiences, characteristics, attributes, skills and backgrounds of candidates relative to those of other Board members and those represented by the Board as a whole to ensure that the Board has the right mix of skills, expertise and background.

      The Board does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of director nominees recommended by stockholders, as to date IACMatch Group has not received any such recommendations. However, the Board would consider such recommendations if made in the future. Stockholders who wish to make such a recommendation should send the recommendation to IAC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011,Match Group, 8750 North Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75231, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

      2021 ESPP PROPOSAL)

       As required pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we are seeking a non-binding advisory vote from our

      The Company is asking its stockholders to approve the compensationMatch Group, Inc. 2021 Global Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The Board has approved the ESPP, subject to the approval of our named executivesthe stockholders of the Company. The ESPP is a broad-based plan that provides employees of the Company and certain designated subsidiaries and affiliates with the opportunity to become Company stockholders through voluntary periodic contributions that are applied towards the purchase of common stock of the Company (referred to herein as “shares”) at a discount from the then-current market price.

      The Board believes that the ESPP is in the best interest of the Company because it will provide an important tool to attract, retain and reward the talented employees and officers needed for 2016. This proposal, which we refer to as the "say on pay vote," is not intended to address any specific itemCompany’s success. In addition, in encouraging share ownership by employees, the ESPP will align the interests of compensation, but rather our overall compensation programemployees and policies relating to our named executives.stockholders.

The Company expects the proposed aggregate share reserve under the ESPP to provide the level of compensation necessaryCompany with enough shares for approximately ten years, subject to attract, retain, motivate and reward talented and experienced executives and to motivate them to achieve short-term and long-term goals, thereby enhancing stockholder value and creating a successful company.

              We believe that our executive officer compensation program, with its balance of short-term and long-term incentives, rewards sustained performance that is aligned with long-term stockholder interests.

      PROPOSAL 3—ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING THE SAY ON PAY VOTE
      vote.

       Section 14 of the Exchange Act also requires us to seek a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders regarding the frequency of holding the advisory vote on executive compensation in the future. In casting your advisory vote, you may indicate whether you prefer that we seek an advisory vote every one, two or three years. You may also abstain from voting on this matter.

              After thoughtful consideration, our Compensation and Human Resources Committee and the Board believe that holding an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years is the most appropriate policy for the Company and its stockholders at this time. Our Board and the Compensation and Human Resources Committee believe that a triennial vote more closely mirrors the long-term nature of a significant portion of our executive officer compensation program and will discourage short-term thinking and, as a result, stockholder analysis of our performance and compensation practices would be more fully informed when viewed over a three-year period. Moreover, allowing more time in between the advisory votes on executive compensation would provide a greater opportunity for our Board and Compensation and Human Resources Committee to engage in meaningful analysis of any compensation issues and consideration of any stockholder concerns.

              The approval, on an advisory basis, of the frequency of holding the say on pay vote proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of shares of IAC capital stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy and voting together. However, if no choice receives a majority of votes, then the option on the frequency of the advisory vote that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be considered by the Board as the recommendation of our stockholders as to the frequency of holding future say on pay votes. The vote is advisory in nature and therefore not binding on us or our Board. However, our Board values the opinions of all of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of this vote when making future decisions on the frequency with which we will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation.

       Section 14

      Summary of Material Provisions of the ESPP

      The principal features of the ESPP are summarized below, but the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP. A copy of the ESPP is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix D and is incorporated herein by reference. For purposes of this proposal, “Administrator” means the Board or any Committee designated by the Board to administer the ESPP.

      General

      The purchase rights granted under the ESPP are intended to be treated as either (i) for U.S. participants, granted under an “employee stock purchase plan,” as that term is defined in Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (a “423 Offering”), or (ii) for non-U.S. participants, granted under an employee stock purchase plan that is not subject to the requirements of Section 423 of the Code (a “Non-423 Offering”). The Administrator has discretion to grant purchase rights under either a 423 Offering or a Non-423 Offering.

      Shares Subject to ESPP and Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization

      A total of 3,000,000 of the Company’s shares will be initially authorized and reserved for issuance under the ESPP. Such shares may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market. If any purchase right granted under the ESPP terminates for any reason without having been exercised, the shares not purchased under such purchase right shall again become available for issuance under the ESPP.

      In the event of any change affecting the shares subject to the ESPP or subject to any purchase right after the date the ESPP is adopted by the Board without the receipt of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other similar equity restructuring transaction, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the ESPP, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the ESPP, the purchase price per share, the class and the number of shares covered by each purchase right under the ESPP that has not yet been exercised, and any limitations related to shares imposed under the ESPP.


      Eligibility

      Generally, any individual who is an employee providing services to the Company or a designated subsidiary or affiliate is eligible to participate in the ESPP and may participate by submitting a subscription form to the Company under procedures specified by the Administrator.

      However, the Administrator, in its discretion may determine on a uniform basis for an offering period that employees will not be eligible to participate if they: (i) are not employed by the Company or a designated subsidiary or affiliate on the first day of the month preceding the month during which the offering begins, (ii) customarily work 20 hours or less per week, (iii) customarily work five months or less per calendar year, or (iv) are an officer or subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 16(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act requires usof 1934, as amended. An individual is not eligible if they are performing services for the Company or a designated subsidiary or affiliate under an independent contractor or consulting agreement. A participant’s enrollment election will remain in effect for subsequent offering periods unless modified in accordance with the terms of the ESPP or unless the participant’s participation in the ESPP terminates due to seek a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholderswithdrawal or termination of employment. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 1,900 employees, including all four executive officers, were eligible to participate in the ESPP if the subsidiaries for whom such employees work were designated by the Administrator as participating subsidiaries under the ESPP.

      No employee is eligible for the grant of any purchase rights under the ESPP if, immediately after such grant, the employee would own shares possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company (including any shares which such employee may purchase under all outstanding purchase rights), nor will any employee be granted purchase rights under a 423 Offering to buy more than $25,000 worth of shares (determined based on the frequencyfair market value of seeking the sayshares on pay vote every six years. Accordingly, we last sought this non-binding advisory votethe date the purchase rights are granted) under the ESPP in any calendar year such purchase rights are outstanding.

      Eligible employees who are citizens or resident of a jurisdiction outside the United States may be excluded from participation in the ESPP if their participation is prohibited under local laws or if complying with local laws would cause a 423 Offering to fail to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. In the case of a Non-423 Offering, eligible employees may be excluded from participation in the ESPP or an offering if the Administrator has determined that participation of such eligible employees is not advisable or practicable for any reason.

      Offering Periods

      Initially, the Administrator intends that the ESPP will generally be implemented by twelve (12) month offering periods. Unless and until the Administrator determines otherwise in its discretion, each offering period will be comprised of two six-month purchase periods. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, if the fair market value of a share at our 2011 Annual Meetingthe start of Stockholdersa purchase period other than the first purchase period within an offering period is less than or equal to the fair market value of a share on the first trading day of that offering period, then that offering period will terminate immediately and the nextparticipants in such voteterminated offering period will be automatically enrolled in a new offering period beginning immediately.

      The Administrator has the authority to establish the commencement and ending dates for all offering periods, additional or alternative sequential or overlapping offering periods, a different number of purchase periods within an offering period, or a different duration for one or more offering periods or purchase periods, provided that no offering period may have a duration that exceeds 27 months.

      Contributions

      The ESPP permits participants to purchase shares through contributions (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise to the extent permitted by the Administrator). Initially, up to a maximum of 20% of a participant’s “compensation” (as defined in the ESPP) may be contributed by participants toward the purchase of shares during each offering period. During any offering period, a participant may not increase the rate of their contributions and may only decrease the rate of their contributions two times; provided that a participant may decrease the rate of their contributions to zero at any time. The Administrator has the authority to establish different limits on the amount of compensation that may be contributed to the ESPP or different limits on changes to the rate of contributions.


      Purchase of Shares

      Each purchase right will be automatically exercised on the applicable purchase date, and shares will be purchased on behalf of each participant by applying the participant’s contributions for the applicable purchase period to the purchase of whole shares at the purchase price in effect for that purchase date. Purchase dates will occur on the last trading day of each purchase period.

      The maximum number of shares purchasable per participant on any single purchase date is scheduled400 shares (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Administrator), subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in the Company’s capitalization.

      Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any contributions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a whole share will be retained in the participant’s account for the succeeding purchase period. Any other funds left over in a participant’s account after the purchase date will be returned to the participant as soon as administratively practicable without interest (unless otherwise required by applicable laws).

      No participant will have any voting, dividend or other stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to any purchase right granted under the ESPP until such shares have been purchased and delivered to the participant as provided in the ESPP.

      Purchase Price

      Subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in the Company’s capitalization, the purchase price per share at which shares are purchased on each purchase date will be equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the shares (i) on the first trading day of the offering period, or (ii) on the purchase date (i.e., the last trading day of the purchase period), rounded up to the nearest cent. For this purpose, “fair market value” generally means the closing price of the Company’s shares on the applicable date on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

      The Administrator has authority to establish a different purchase price for any 423 Offering or Non-423 Offering, provided that the purchase price applicable to a 423 Offering complies with the provisions of Section 423 of the Code. As of April 16, 2021, the closing price of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market was $145.30.

      Administration

      The ESPP will be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board. The Board has appointed the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board to be heldthe Administrator of the ESPP. Subject to the terms of the ESPP, the Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the ESPP, delegate ministerial duties to any employees, designate separate offerings under the ESPP, designate subsidiaries and affiliates as participating in the 423 Offering and the Non-423 Offering to determine eligibility, adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the ESPP, and establish such procedures that it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the ESPP. The Administrator is also authorized to adopt rules and procedures that vary with applicable local requirements outside the United States.

      Non-U.S. Sub-Plans

      The Administrator also has the authority to adopt such sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit the participation in the ESPP by employees who are non-U.S. nationals or employed outside the United States. Such sub-plans may vary the terms of the ESPP, other than with respect to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP, to accommodate the requirements of local laws and procedures for non-U.S. jurisdictions.

      Transferability

      Purchase rights granted under the ESPP are not transferable by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant.


      Withdrawals

      A participant may withdraw from an offering period and receive a refund of contributions by submitting the appropriate written or electronic notice through the Company’s designated plan broker or to the Administrator. The withdrawal notice may be submitted up to ten calendar days prior to a purchase date to take effect for the respective purchase period, or by such other date as may be determined by the Administrator in advance of an offering period. If the participant has properly withdrawn from the ESPP, all of the participant’s contributions credited will be paid to such participant as soon as administratively practicable without interest (unless otherwise required by local law) after receipt of the withdrawal notice and the participant’s purchase right for the respective offering period will be automatically terminated. No further contributions for the purchase of shares will then be made for that offering period.

      Termination of Employment

      If a participant ceases to be an eligible employee prior to a purchase date, contributions for the participant will be discontinued and any amounts credited to the participant’s account will be refunded, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable, except as otherwise provided by the Administrator.

      Change in Control

      In the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the ESPP), each outstanding purchase right will be equitably adjusted and assumed or an equivalent purchase right substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the Change in Control does not include or result in a successor corporation or the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for any purchase right, the offering period will be shortened by setting a new purchase date, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator.

      Amendment and Termination of ESPP

      The ESPP will become effective upon the approval by the stockholders of the Company.

      The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. If the ESPP is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding offering periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares on the next purchase date (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or may elect to permit offering periods to expire in accordance with their terms. If the offering periods are terminated prior to expiration, all contributions then credited to participants’ accounts that have not been used to purchase shares will be returned to the participants (without interest, except as otherwise required under applicable laws) as soon as administratively practicable.

      U.S. Federal Income Tax Information

      The following summary briefly describes the general U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the ESPP for participants who are tax resident in the United States, current as of April 2021, but is not a detailed or complete description of all U.S. federal tax laws or regulations that may apply, and does not address any local, state or other country laws. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the ESPP should consult their own professional tax advisors regarding the taxation of purchase rights under the ESPP. The discussion below concerning tax deductions that may become available to the Company under U.S. federal tax law is not intended to imply that the Company will necessarily obtain a tax benefit or asset from those deductions. Taxation of equity-based payments in countries other than the United States does not generally correspond to U.S. federal tax laws, and is not covered by the summary below.

      423 Offerings

      Rights to purchase shares granted under a 423 Offering are intended to qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment available to purchase rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under the provisions of Section 423(b) of the Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the shares purchased under the ESPP are sold or otherwise disposed of. If the shares are disposed of within two years from the purchase right grant date (i.e., the beginning of the offering period) or within one year from the purchase date of the shares, a transaction referred to as a “disqualifying disposition,” the participant will realize ordinary income in the year of such disposition equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date and the purchase price. The amount of such ordinary income will be added to the participant’s basis in the shares, and any additional gain or resulting loss recognized on the disposition of the shares after such basis adjustment will be a capital gain or loss. A capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant holds the shares for more than one year after the purchase date.


      If the shares purchased under the ESPP are sold (or otherwise disposed of) more than two years after the purchase right grant date and more than one year after the shares are transferred to the participant, then the lesser of (i) the excess of the sale price of the shares at the Company's 2023 Annual Meetingtime of Stockholders.disposition over the purchase price, and (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares as of the purchase right grant date (determined as of the first day of the offering period) over the purchase price will be treated as ordinary income. If the sale price is less than the purchase price, no ordinary income will be reported. The amount of any such ordinary income will be added to the participant’s basis in the shares, and any additional gain or resulting loss recognized on the disposition of the shares after such basis adjustment will be long-term capital gain or loss.

      The Company (or applicable subsidiary or affiliate) generally will be entitled to a deduction in the year of a disqualifying disposition equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the participant as a result of such disposition, subject to the satisfaction of any tax reporting obligations. In other cases, no deduction is allowed.

      Non-423 Offerings

      If the purchase right is granted under a Non-423 Offering, then the amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date and the purchase price will be treated as ordinary income at the time of such purchase. In such instances, the amount of such ordinary income will be added to the participant’s basis in the shares, and any additional gain or resulting loss recognized on the disposition of the shares after such basis adjustment will be a capital gain or loss. A capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant holds the shares for more than one year after the purchase date.

      The Company (or applicable subsidiary or affiliate) generally will be entitled to a deduction in the year of purchase equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the participant as a result of such disposition, subject to the satisfaction of any tax-reporting obligations. For U.S. participants, FICA/FUTA taxes will generally be due in relation to ordinary income earned as a result of participation in a Non-423 Offering.

      New Plan Benefits

      The benefits to be received pursuant to the ESPP by the Company’s officers and employees are not currently determinable as participation in the ESPP is voluntary and at the discretion of each employee, and because the benefits to be received will depend on the purchase price of the shares in offering periods after the implementation of the ESPP, the market value of the shares on various future dates, the amount of contributions that eligible officers and employees elect to make under the ESPP and similar factors. As of the date of this proxy statement, no officer or employee has been granted any purchase rights under the ESPP.

      Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

       

      The Audit Committee has a policy governing the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by IAC'sMatch Group’s independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of these services does not impair such firm'sfirm’s independence from IACMatch Group and its management. Unless a type of service to be provided by IAC'sMatch Group’s independent registered public accounting firm has received general pre-approval, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services in excess of pre-approved cost levels also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. In all pre-approval instances, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with SEC rules regarding auditor independence.


      Table of Contents

      All Taxtax services require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee has designated specific services that have the pre-approval of the Audit Committee (each of which is subject to pre-approved cost levels) and has classified these pre-approved services into one of three categories: Audit, Audit-Related and All Other (excluding Tax). The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period.

      Objectives

       Our

      Match Group’s executive officer compensation program is designed to increase long-term stockholder value by attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding leaders with the competence, character, experience and ambition necessary to enable the CompanyMatch Group to meet its growth objectives.

       

      Although IACMatch Group is a publicly traded company, we attempt to foster an entrepreneurial culture given that we operate a broad and diverse portfolio of dating brands, and we seek to attract and retain senior executives with entrepreneurial backgrounds, attitudes and aspirations. Accordingly, when attempting to recruit and retain our executive officers, as well as other executives who may become executive officers at a later time, we compete not only with other public companies, but also with earlier stage companies, companies funded by financial sponsors, such as private equity and venture capital firms, financial sponsors themselves and professional firms. We structure our compensation program so that we can compete in this varied marketplace for talent, with an emphasis on variable, contingent compensation and long-term equity ownership.

       While we consider market data in

      When establishing broad compensation programspackages for a given executive, Match Group follows a flexible approach, and practices and may periodically benchmark the compensation associated with particular executive positions, we do not definitively rely on competitive survey data or any benchmarking information in establishing executive compensation. The Company makes decisions based on a host of factors particular to a given executive'sexecutive’s situation, including itsour firsthand experience with the competition for recruiting and retaining executives, negotiation and its understanding ofdiscussion with the current environment, and believes that over-reliance onrelevant individual, competitive survey data, or a benchmarkinginternal equity considerations and other factors we deem relevant at the time.

      Similarly, Match Group does not follow an arithmetic approach is too rigidto establishing compensation levels and stale for the dynamic and fast changing marketplace for talent in which we compete.

              Similarly, we believe that arithmetic approaches to measuring and rewarding short-term performance, as we believe these approaches often fail to adequately take into account the multiple factors that contribute to success at the individual executive and business level. In any given period, the CompanyMatch Group may have multiple objectives, and these objectives, and their relative importance, often change as the competitive and strategic landscapes shift.shift, even within a given compensation cycle. As a result, formulaic approaches often over-compensate or under-compensate a given performance level. Accordingly, we have historically avoided the use of strict formulas in our annual bonus program, believing that they often over-compensate or under-compensate a given performance level. We insteadcompensation practices and rely primarily on an approach that, while based on clear objectives, is not formulaic and allows for the exercise of discretion in setting final bonus amounts.a discretionary approach.

       In addition, we are of the view that long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards aligns the interests of executives with the interests of our long-term shareholders, and to further this important goal, equity awards play a prominent role in our overall compensation program. We have used non-qualified stock options as the predominant equity incentive vehicle for our executives for many years. We use this equity incentive instrument primarily for the sake of simplicity given that the value from stock option awards is directly dependent on appreciation in the Company's stock price and


      Table of Contents

      therefore provides an objectively measurable goal, and a belief that it would, in general, make the Company more competitive in recruiting talented executives and employees. From time to time, however, executives have been awarded restricted stock units in addition to, or in lieu of, stock option awards, depending on individual circumstances, and in 2016 two of our executives was awarded restricted stock units (as described below).

              We believe that the Company's executive officer compensation program puts the substantial majority of compensation at risk, rewards both individual executive and corporate performance in a targeted fashion, pays amounts appropriate to attract and retain those key individuals necessary to grow the Company and aligns the interests of our key executives with the interests of our stockholders. We continuously evaluate our program and make changes as we deem appropriate.

      Roles and Responsibilities

       

      The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company'sCompany’s Board of Directors (for purposes of this CD&A, the "Committee"“Committee”) has primary responsibility for establishing the compensation of the Company'sCompany’s executive officers. AllFor each of the NEOs (except Mr. Eigenmann, since his designation as an executive officer occurred in December 2020), all compensation decisions referred to throughout this CD&A have been made by the Committee, based (in part)in part on recommendations from Mr. Dillerour Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Levin (as described below).with input from representatives of the Company’s majority stockholder until the Separation in June 2020, and in consultation with the Executive Chairman of the Board following the Separation. The Committee currently consists of Ms. HammerMses. Brenner, McDaniel (Chairperson) and Mr. Rosenblatt.Seymon. Prior to the Separation the Committee consisted of Mses. McDaniel (Chairperson) and Seymon.


      The executive officers participateChief Executive Officer participates in structuring Company-wide compensation programs and in establishing appropriate bonus and equity pools. In late 2020 and early 2017, Messrs. Diller and Levin2021, Ms. Dubey met with the Committee and discussed theirher views of corporate and individual executive officer performance for 20162020 for Messrs. Kaufman, Schiffman, SteinSwidler, Sine and Winiarski,Eigenmann, and theirher recommendations for annual bonuses for those executive officers. Mr. DillerShe also discussed Mr. Levin's performance, and his views on hisher own performance with the Committee. Following these discussions, the Committee met in executive sessionssession to discuss these recommendations.the recommendations, including their views of corporate and individual performance for 2020 for Ms. Dubey. After consideration of thesethe recommendations and their own evaluations, the Committee ultimately determined theapproved annual bonus amountamounts for each executive officer.

       

      In establishing a given executive officer'sofficer’s compensation package, each individual component is evaluated independently and in relation to the package as a whole. Prior earning histories and outstanding long-term compensation arrangements are also reviewed and taken into account. However, we doMatch Group does not believe in any formulaic relationship or targeted allocation between these elements. Instead, each individual executive'sexecutive’s situation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis each year, considering the variety of relevant factors at that time.

       From time

      Match Group provides its stockholders with the opportunity to time,cast a triennial advisory vote on executive compensation (“say-on-pay”), which reflects the preference expressed by stockholders in 2016 with respect to the frequency of the say-on-pay vote. At Match Group’s annual meeting of stockholders held in June 2019, a substantial majority of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the proposal. The Committee believes that the vote reflected stockholder support of Match Group’s approach to executive compensation, and, as such, did not make changes based on the 2019 vote. The Committee will continue to consider the outcome of say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for executive officers.

      Although the Committee has solicitedreserves the right to solicit the advice of consulting firms and engagedengage legal counsel. Nocounsel, except as noted below, no such consulting firms or legal counsel were engaged during 2016.2020.

       

      In addition, from time to time, the Company may solicit survey or peer compensation data from various consulting firms. In 2016,2020, the Company engaged Mercer (US) Inc.Compensation Advisory Partners LLC (“CAP”) to provide comparative market data in connection with the Company'sCompany’s own analysis of its equity compensation practices, but neither MercerCAP nor any other compensation consultant engaged by the Company had any role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive compensation for 2016.2020.

      Compensation Elements

       Our

      Match Group’s compensation packages for executive officers have primarily consistconsisted of salary, annual bonuses, IAClong term incentives (typically equity awardsawards), and, in certain instances,to a more limited extent, perquisites and other benefits.


      Table Prior to making specific decisions related to any particular element of Contentscompensation, we typically review the total compensation of each executive, evaluating the executive’s total near- and long-term compensation in aggregate. We then determine which element or combinations of compensation elements (salary, bonus and/or equity) can be used most effectively to further our compensation objectives. However, all such decisions are subjective, and are made on a facts and circumstances basis without any prescribed relationship between the various elements of the total compensation package.

        Salary

       We

      Match Group typically negotiatenegotiates a new executive officer'sofficer’s starting salary upon arrival, based on the executive's prior compensation history, prior compensation levels for the particular position within Match Group, the Company, the Company's New York City location of a particular executive, salary levels of other executive officersexecutives within the Company andMatch Group, salary levels available to the individual in alternative opportunities. Salariesopportunities, reference to certain survey information and the extent to which Match Group desires to secure the executive’s services.

      Once established, salaries can increase based on a number of factors, including the assumption of additional responsibilities, internal equity, periodic market checks and other factors whichthat demonstrate an executive officer'sexecutive’s increased value to Match Group.

      In February 2020, we entered into a new employment agreement with Ms. Dubey in connection with her appointment as Chief Executive Officer and, pursuant to the Company. No executive officer'snew agreement, her annual salary was increased from $625,000 to $750,000, effective as of March 1, 2020, the date of her appointment to the new role. In February 2020, we also entered into an amendment of the employment agreement with Mr. Swidler in connection with his appointment to the additional role of Chief Operating Officer and, pursuant to the amendment, his annual salary was increased from $600,000 to $675,000, effective as of March 1, 2020, the date of his appointment to the additional role. No other executive officer salaries were established or adjusted during 2016.2020.


        Annual Bonuses

       General. We establish

      Match Group’s bonus levels throughprogram is designed to reward performance on an annual basis and annual bonuses are discretionary. Because of the variable nature of the bonus program, and because in any given year bonuses have the potential to make up a two-pronged process. First, atsignificant portion of an executive’s total compensation, the beginningbonus program provides an important incentive tool to achieve Match Group’s annual objectives. Match Group generally pays bonuses shortly after year-end following finalization of eachfinancial results for the year the Committee sets performance objectives, which historically have been tied to the achievementin question.

      The determination of EBITDA (as defined below), revenue or share price performance targets during the forthcoming year, and maximum bonus amounts. In general, these performance targets are minimum acceptable performance conditions, but with respect to which there is substantial uncertainty when we establish them. The establishment of performance targets and maximum bonus amounts is undertaken primarilybased on a non-formulaic assessment of factors that vary from year to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Satisfaction of one or more of the performance targets established by the Committee allows for the payment of bonuses that will be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, should any bonuses be awarded to the Company's named executive officers. However, satisfaction of the applicable performance targets does not obligate the Committee to approve any specific bonus amount for any executive officer, and the Committee has historically reduced the maximum bonus amount based onyear, including a discretionary assessment of Company and, to a lesser extent, individual performance. In making its determinations regardingdetermining individual annual bonus amounts, the Committee considerswe consider a variety of factors regarding the Company’s overall performance, such as growth in profitability or achievement of strategic objectives by the Company, and an individual'sindividual’s performance and contribution to the Company. The Committee doesCompany, and general bonus expectations previously established between the Company and the executive. We do not quantify the weight given to any specific element or otherwise follow a formulaic calculation. Rather,calculation; however, Company performance tends to be the Committee engages in an overall assessment of appropriate bonus levels based on a subjective interpretation of all relevant criteria. This process is designed to permit the Company to deduct the bonus compensation paid to executives for income tax purposes.

              The definition of EBITDA used for establishing Section 162(m) performance objectives comes from IAC's 2013 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, and is as follows: "EBITDA" means for any period, operating profit (loss) plus, if applicable: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (iii) goodwill impairment, (iv) non-cash compensation expense, (v) restructuring charges, (vi) non cash write-downs of assets, (vii) charges relating to disposal of lines of business, (viii) litigation settlement amounts and (ix) costs incurred for proposed and completed acquisitions.

      2016 Bonuses. For 2016, the Committee predicated the payment of bonuses to executive officers on attaining: (i) EBITDA in anydominant driver of the four consecutive calendar quarters beginning with the second quarter of 2016 at least equal to EBITDA in the corresponding calendar quarter twelve months before, (ii) revenue in any of the four consecutive calendar quarters beginning with the second quarter of 2016 at least equal to revenue in the corresponding calendar quarter twelve months before or (iii) share price growth of at least 5% over $42.39 (the closing price of the Company's common stock on February 10, 2016) on any 20 trading days during the period beginning on February 11, 2016 through December 31, 2016. Two of the targets were met. After concluding that the threshold performance targets for the payment ofultimate bonus amount.

      For 2020 bonuses, had been achieved, the Committee then exercised its right to reduce bonus amounts for each individual executive officer from the maximum level established. In setting actual bonus levels, the Committeewe considered a variety of factors, including:


      Table of Contents

        Revenueincluding, among others, year-over-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA results.  Revenue decreased modestly overgrowth, levels of cash flow generated from operations, and certain strategic accomplishments, including debt financings, strategic transactions and the prior year, reflectinggeneral successful operation of the Company. The Committee also considered the Company’s strong performance despite the business and operating challenges in our Publishing and Applications segments, offsetpresented by strong growth at Match Group and HomeAdvisor. Adjusted EBITDA increased modestly in 2016, reflecting strong growth at Match Group and HomeAdvisor and reduced losses at Vimeo;

        Capitalization and cash position.  The Company repatriated over $315 million to stockholders during 2016 by way of share repurchases. In addition, during 2016: (i) the Company repurchased $126 million of its outstanding senior notes, and (ii) Match Group issued $400 million of 6.375% senior notes, repaid $450 million of its term loan and amended its term loan to reduce the interest rate payable on the outstanding balance, positioning each of us and Match Group for long term growth as we each continue to invest in our respective businesses and identify new opportunities for expansion; and

        Strategic initiatives.  The Company took steps to positively advance the strategic position of several of its businesses. As part of its continuing review of its collection of assets, the Company: (i) provided for additional investment in those of its businesses where the Company believes there is upside opportunity, for example HomeAdvisor and Vimeo, (ii) restructured certain of its businesses, positioning them for future growth,global COVID-19 pandemic, including the successful pivoting of product roadmaps and marketing efforts in response to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic around the world generally and to our businesses withinin particular, and the maintaining of our Publishing and Applications segments, and (iii) divested itself of several non-core assets, including Shoebuy, PriceRunner and Ask.fm. In addition, the Company focused on cost-cutting efforts throughout the organization during the year.

      global workforce’s productivity despite transitioning to a fully remote working environment. While the factors noted abovethese were the primary onesfactors considered in setting bonus award amounts, the Committee also considered each executive officer'sofficer’s role and responsibilities, the relative contributions made by each executive officer during the year and the relative size of the bonuses paid to the other executive officers. With respect to 2016 bonuses for oureach of the NEOs, the Committee considered the following: (i) with respect to Mr. Diller, hisMs. Dubey, her new role in providingas Chief Executive Officer of the Company, including her focus on overseeing the operations of, and developing the strategic directionagenda for, the Company, overall, (ii) with respect to Mr. Levin,Swidler, his continuing focus on managing the day-to-day business operationsrole as Chief Financial Officer of the Company as well as his new role as Chief Operating Officer, including steppinghis management of the Company’s finance, information technology, advertising sales and corporate communications functions and his oversight of the Separation transaction, two senior note offerings totaling $1 billion in as acting Chief Executive Officeraggregate principal amount, and the amendment of Vimeo and participating in the development of strategic initiatives for the Company,Company’s credit agreement, (iii) with respect to Mr. Kaufman,Sine, his participation in strategicrole as Chief Legal Officer, including his management of the Company’s legal, compliance, and government affairs functions and his oversight of the Company,legal and compliance aspects of the Separation transaction, and (iv) with respect to Mr. Schiffman,Eigenmann, his new role as Executive Vice PresidentChief Accounting Officer, including his management of the Company’s global accounting and Chief Financial Officerfinancial reporting functions and his oversight of cost-cutting initiatives, (v) with respect to Mr. Stein, participating in the development of strategy for severalaccounting aspects of the Company's businesses and (vi) with respect to Mr. Winiarski, his role in managing the successful completion of a number of acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and investments.Separation transaction.

       As noted above, in setting individual bonus amounts, the Committee did not quantify the weight assigned to any specific factor, nor did it apply a formulaic calculation. In setting bonus amounts, the Committee generally considered the Company's overall performance, the amount of bonus for each NEO relative to other Company executives and the recommendations of the Chairman and Senior Executive and the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Committee considered achievements in 2016 as compared to achievements and bonus levels in prior years.

      Executive officer bonuses tend to be highly variable from year-to-year depending on the performance of the Company and, in certain circumstances, individual executive officer performance. Accordingly, we believe our executive officer bonus program provides strong incentives to reach the Company'sCompany’s annual goals.

        Long-Term Incentives

       General. Due to our entrepreneurial philosophy, we believe that providing a meaningful equity stake in our business is essential to create compensation opportunities that can compete, on a risk-adjusted basis, with entrepreneurial employment alternatives. In addition, we believe

      Match Group believes that ownership shapes behavior and that by providing a meaningful portion of an executive officer’s compensation in the form of equitystock based awards we align


      Table of Contents

      executive officeraligns their incentives with stockholder interests in a manner that we believe drives superiorbetter performance over time. The primary long term incentives for our NEOs have been Match Group restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards.

       While there is currently no formal stock ownership or holding requirement for executive officers, our executive officers generally have historically held a significant portion of their stock awards (net of tax withholdings) well beyond the relevant vesting dates.

              In establishing equity awards for an executive officer for any given period, the amount of outstanding unvested and/or unexercised equity awards, as well as previously earned or exercised awards, is reviewed and evaluated on an individual-by-individual basis. In setting particular award levels, the predominant considerations areobjectives have been providing the executive officer with effective retention incentives appropriate reward for past performance,and incentives for strong future performanceperformance. Appropriate levels to meet these goals may vary from year to year, and competitive conditions. from executive to executive, based on a variety of factors.

      The annual corporate performance factors relevant to setting bonus amounts that were discussed above, while considered, aretaken into account, have generally been less relevant in determining the type and level ofsetting annual equity awards, as the awards tend to be more forward looking, and are a longer-term retention and reward instrument relative to ourthan annual bonuses.

       The Company's usual practice is

      All equity awards have been approved by the Committee, other than the Former IAC stock options granted to scheduleMses. Ginsberg and Dubey and Mr. Swidler in 2016, which were approved by the Former IAC Compensation and Human Resources Committee. When granting Match Group equity awards, the Committee has taken into account factors such as historical practices, the Committee’s view of market compensation generally, the dilutive impact of equity grants and desired short and long-term dilution levels, and a given executive’s existing equity holdings and their retention and incentive value.


      Except where otherwise noted, equity awards have been made following year-end after finalization of financial results for the year in question. Committee meetings at which the awards are to be made are generally scheduled well in advance and without regard to the timing of the release of earnings or other material information.

       2016 Equity Awards.

      In February 2016,2020, as part of the Company’s annual year-end compensation review, the Committee granted 200,000 stock options123,411 RSUs to Ms. Dubey, 78,983 RSUs to Mr. Levin, 150,000 stock optionsSwidler, 32,594 RSUs to Mr. SteinSine, and 100,000 stock options3,585 RSUs to Mr. Winiarski.Eigenmann.

The RSU award granted to Mr. Sine vests as to one-third on the second anniversary of the grant date and have an exercise price equalas to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.

              We believe these awards provide meaningful retention and performance incentives for our executive officers.

      2017 Equity Awards. In February 2017, the Committee granted 300,000 stock options to Mr. Levin, 150,000 stock options to each of Messrs. Schiffman and Stein, and 100,000 stock options to Mr. Winiarski.

Also in February 2017, Mr. Kaufman received a restricted stock unit award with a dollar value of $350,000same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements); except that, in accordance with the terms of histhe applicable Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, each stock option award and RSU award was adjusted in order to reflect the $3.00 per share merger consideration paid to Former Match Group stockholders in connection with the Separation (the “June 2020 Match Group Award Separation Adjustments”). Stock option awards were adjusted by dividing the exercise price, and multiplying the number of options, by an adjustment factor of 1.0337. RSU awards were adjusted by multiplying the number of RSUs by the same adjustment factor. The June 2020 Match Group Award Separation Adjustments maintained the value of the awards, placing the recipients in an equivalent position following the closing of the Separation.

      In connection with the Separation, and pursuant to the employee matters agreement with IAC, the vesting of all Former IAC stock options outstanding as of December 19, 2020, including the Former IAC stock options granted to Mses. Ginsberg and Dubey and Mr. Swidler in 2016, was accelerated, and each such stock option was converted into (i) one New IAC stock option and (ii) 2.1584 New Match Group stock options, with the exercise price of each such New IAC stock option and New Match Group stock option based on the relative values of the companies’ common stock at the time of the Separation (the “June 2020 IAC Option Separation Adjustments”). The June 2020 IAC Option Separation Adjustments maintained the value of the awards, placing the recipients in an equivalent position following the closing of the Separation.

      2020 Employment Agreement Changes

      Ms. Dubey. In connection with her appointment as Match Group’s Chief Executive Officer, on February 13, 2020, the Company entered into a new employment agreement vesting in thirds onwith Ms. Dubey, replacing the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

      2016 Employment Agreement

      New Employment Agreement for Mr. Schiffman. Effective April 7, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), IAC and Mr. Schiffman entered into anthen current employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Schiffman became the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.with Ms. Dubey in its entirety, effective March 1, 2020. The Employment Agreementagreement has a scheduledan initial term of one (1) year, from the Effective Date and provides forwith automatic renewals forof successive one (1) yearone-year terms absent written notice from IAC or Mr. Schiffman ninety (90)either party 90 days prior to the expiration of the then current term.


      Table of Contents

      The Employment Agreementagreement provides that Mr. Schiffman will be eligible to receivefor an annual base salary (currently $600,000), discretionary annual cash bonuses, equity awards and such other employee benefits as may be reasonably determined by the Committee. Upon joining IAC, Mr. Schiffman was granted 200,000 IAC stock options that vest 25% a year, on the first four anniversaries of the grant date,$750,000, subject to increases in the Company’s discretion from time to time. As described in more detail under Executive Compensation–Estimated Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, the agreement also provides for specified payments and benefits upon a termination of employment, as well as specified restrictive covenants.

      Mr. Schiffman's continuedSwidler. On February 13, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment of Mr. Swidler’s employment with IAC, and have an exercise price equalagreement, effective March 1, 2020, to reflect his appointment to the closing priceadditional role of the Company's common stock on the Effective Date (the "2016 Options").

              Upon certain involuntary terminations of Mr. Schiffman's employmentChief Operating Officer and subject to the execution and non-revocation of a release and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth below: (i) IAC will continue to pay Mr. Schiffmanan increase in his annual base salary for one (1) year following such termination, (ii)to $675,000.

      The employment agreements between Former Match and each of Ms. Dubey and Messrs. Swidler and Sine were assumed by New Match at the 2016 Options shall vest asclosing of such datethe Separation.


      Change of termination, (iii) all other IACControl

      Match Group believes that providing executives with change of control protection is important in allowing executives to fully value the forward looking elements of their compensation packages, and therefore limit retention risk during uncertain times. The terms of equity awards (including any cliff vesting awards, which shall be pro-rated as though such awards had an annual vesting schedule) held by Mr. Schiffman that would have otherwise vested during the one (1) year period following such termination shall vest as of the date of such termination and (iv) all vested and outstanding IAC stock options held by Mr. Schiffman as of the date of such termination (including any stock options that vested pursuantgranted to the acceleration rights described above), shall remain outstanding and exercisable for eighteen (18) months from the date of such termination.

              Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Schiffman is bound by a covenant not to compete with IAC's businesses during the term of his employment and for twelve (12) months after certain involuntary terminations and covenants not to solicit IAC's employees or business partners during the term of his employment and for eighteen (18) months after such a termination. In addition, Mr. Schiffman agreed not to use or disclose any confidential information of IAC or its affiliates.

      Change of Control

              The Company's equity awards for senior executive officersexecutives generally include a so-called "double-trigger"“double-trigger” change of control provision, as provided for under the Match Group, Inc. 2015 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2015 Plan”) and the Match Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2017 Plan”), which provides for the acceleration of the vesting of outstanding equity awards in connection with a change of control, but only when an award holder suffersthe executive experiences an involuntary termination of employment during the two (2) yeartwo-year period following such change of control. The Committee believes that providing for the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards after an involuntary termination in these circumstances will assist in the retention of our executive officersexecutives through a change of control transaction. For purposes of this discussion and the discussion below under the heading "Severance," we use the term "involuntary termination" to mean both a termination by the Company without "cause" and a resignation by the executive for "good reason" or similar construct.

      Severance

       

      We generally provide executive officers with some amount of salary and health benefits continuation and the acceleration of the vesting of some equity awards in the event of an involuntary termination of employment. Because we tend to promote our executive officers from within, after competence and commitment have generally been established, we believe that the likelihood of the vesting of equity awards being accelerated is typically low, and yet we believe that through providing this benefit we increase the retentive effect of our equity program, which serves as our most important retention incentive. The Company generally does not provide for the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards in the event an executive officer voluntarily resigns from the Company.

      Other Compensation

              General.    We provide Mr. Diller with various non-cash benefits as part of his overall compensation program.

      Under certain limited circumstances, othercertain Match Group executive officers have also received non-cash and non-equity compensatory benefits. The value of these benefits, is calculated under appropriate rules and is taken into account as a component of compensation when establishing overall compensation levels. The value of all non-cash

      benefitsif applicable, is reported under the "All Other Compensation"Annual Compensation column inof the 2020 Summary Compensation Table on page 29included in the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement pursuant to applicable SEC rules. OurMatch Group executive officers do not participate in any deferred compensation or retirement programsprogram other than the Company'sCompany’s 401(k) plan. Other than a tax gross-up on certain relocation benefits provided to Mr. Schiffman in connection with his moving to the New York City metropolitan area to assume the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, we did not gross-up any benefits provided to any executive officer in 2016. Other than those described specifically below, our executive officers do not partake in any benefit programs, or receive any significant perquisites, distinct from the Company's other employees.

              Mr. Diller.    Pursuant to Company policy, Mr. Diller is required to travel, both for business and personal purposes, on corporate aircraft. In addition to serving general security interests, this means of travel permits him to travel non-stop and without delay, to remain in contact with the Company while he is traveling, to change his plans quickly in the event Company business requires and to conduct confidential Company business while flying, be it telephonically, by e-mail or in person. These interests are similarly furthered on both business and personal flights, as Mr. Diller typically provides his services to the Company while traveling in either case. Nonetheless, the incremental cost to the Company of his travel for personal purposes is reflected as compensation to Mr. Diller from the Company, and is taken into account in establishing his overall compensation package. For certain personal use of Company-owned aircraft, Mr. Diller reimburses the Company at the maximum rate allowable under applicable rules of the Federal Aviation Administration. See the disclosure under the caption "Relationships Involving Significant Stockholders, Named Executives and Directors—Relationships Involving Mr. Diller" on page 45.Tax Deductibility

       Additionally, the Company provides Mr. Diller with access to certain automobiles

      Effective for business and personal use. We also provide certain Company-owned office space and IT equipment for use by certain individuals who work for Mr. Diller personally. These uses are valued by the Company at their incremental cost to the Company or, in the case of the use of office space (where there is no discernible incremental cost), at the cost used for internal allocations of office space for corporate purposes.

              Mr. Levin.    Pursuant to Company policy, Mr. Levin is encouraged to travel, both for business and personal purposes, on corporate aircraft for the same reasons as set forth above for Mr. Diller. The incremental cost to the Company of his travel for personal purposes is reflected astaxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, compensation to Mr. Levin from the Company, and is taken into account in establishing his overall compensation package.

              Mr. Kaufman.    Mr. Kaufman is entitled to use corporate aircraft chartered by the Company for a certain amount of personal travel annually. However, Mr. Kaufman reimburses the Company for the Company's incremental cost of such travel and/or pays the relevant third parties directly, and therefore the value of such travel is not treated as compensation to Mr. Kaufman. Typically, Mr. Kaufman's spouse accompanies him on personal and business flights at no incremental cost to the Company.

              Mr. Schiffman.    As part of the agreement for Mr. Schiffman to move to the New York City metropolitan area to accept the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Company agreed to compensate Mr. Schiffman for various costs of relocating from Austin, Texas, including airfare for certain trips between the New York City metropolitan area and Austin, Texas until his family joined him in the New York City metropolitan area during the third quarter of 2016, the payment of certain brokerage fees in connection with the disposition of his home, costs of temporary housing, moving expenses and associated tax gross-ups. We do not expect these amounts to be recurring, and though the applicable compensation disclosure rules require us to disclose the value of these items as compensation, we did not take them into account in determining the other components of Mr. Schiffman's compensation, as we view them as a cost to the Company in facilitating Mr. Schiffman's move to the New York City metropolitan area.

      Tax Deductibility

              Whenever possible, we endeavor to structure our compensation program so that the compensation we pay is deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Because of the use of performance conditions in connection with our equity awards and annual bonuses, and the fact that no salaries are in excess of one$1 million dollars, these three components arepaid to our current named executive officers and certain former named executive officers will generally not be tax deductible. The Committee reserves the right to pay compensation that is not fully tax deductible byif it determines that such compensation is consistent with the Company. However, under applicable rules of the Internal Revenue Service, the personal use of corporate aircraft leads to a disallowance of the deduction of certain airplane and related costs.Company’s best interests.

      The table on page 31. In 2015, Mr. Levin wasbelow provides information regarding the Match Group RSU awards granted a stock option award with vesting tied to continued employment and a performance stock option award with vesting tied to continued employment and exercisability tied toour named executive officers in 2020. The number of RSUs listed does not reflect the satisfaction of certain performance-based conditions related to the Company's stock price. Accordingly, in the case of the related amount in the table above, $3,980,000 of this amount represents theJune 2020 Match Group Award Separation Adjustments. The grant date fair value of the stock option award with vesting tied to continued employment using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and $4,086,000 of this amount represents the grant date fair value of the performance stock option award using a lattice model that incorporates a Monte Carlo simulation of the Company's stock price.

      (a)
      Pursuant to the Company's Airplane Travel Policy, Mr. Diller is required to travel by Company-owned or chartered aircraft for both business and personal purposes and Mr. Levin is encouraged to use Company aircraft for business and personal travel when doing so would serve the interests of the Company. See the discussion regarding airplane travel under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" on page 27. We calculate the incremental cost to the Company for personal use of Company aircraft based on the average variable operating costs to the Company. Variable operating costs include fuel, certain maintenance costs, navigation fees, on-board catering, landing fees, crew travel expenses and other miscellaneous variable costs. The total annual variable costs are divided by the annual number of miles the Company aircraft flew to derive an average variable cost per mile. This average variable cost per mile is then multiplied by the miles flown for personal use. Incremental costs do not include fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots' salaries, the purchase costs of Company-owned aircraft, insurance, scheduled maintenance and non-trip related hangar expenses. Messrs. Diller and Levin occasionally had family members or other guests accompany them on business and personal trips. While travel by family members or other guests does not result in any incremental cost to the Company, such travel does result in the imputation of taxable income to Messrs. Diller and Levin, the amount of whichRSUs is calculated in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Service rules.

      (b)
      Reflects $145,359 paid to or on behalf of Mr. Schiffman for certain costs related to the relocation of him and his family to the New York City metropolitan area and $80,227 in related tax reimbursements on income imputed to Mr. Schiffman for certain of these costs.

      (c)
      Represents the total amount of other benefits provided to Mr. Diller, none of which individually exceeded 10% of the total value of all perquisites and personal benefits. The total amount of other benefits provided reflects: (i) lease payments, parking, fuel, maintenance and other costs associated with Mr. Diller's personal use of an automobile leased and maintained by IAC and a cash car allowance, (ii) an allocation (based on square footage) of costs for the use of IAC office space by certain individuals who work for Mr. Diller personally, (iii) an allocation (based onmultiplying the number of personal computers and communication devices supportedRSUs by IAC)the closing market price of costs relating to the use by such individuals of the Company's information technology technical support and certain communications equipment and (iv) costs incurred for Mr. Diller's personal use of other car services.

      In addition, no payments would have been madeaccordance with Item 402(u) under Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), we are required to Messrs. Diller, Levin and Stein pursuantdisclose the ratio of our median employee’s annual total compensation to any agreement between the Company and these named executives uponannual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Sharmistha Dubey. The pay ratio disclosure set forth below is a changereasonable estimate calculated in control of IAC ona manner consistent with applicable SEC rules.

      For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Lastly, upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason on2020: (i) the estimated median of the annual total compensation of all Match Group employees (other than Ms. Dubey) was approximately $117,228, (ii) Ms. Dubey’s annual total compensation, as reported under Executive Compensation—2020 Summary Compensation Table was $13,705,132, and (iii) the ratio of annual total compensation of Ms. Dubey to the median of the annual total compensation of our other employees was 117 to 1.

      In making the determinations above, we first identified our total number of employees as of December 31, 2016 that occurred during the two (2) year period following a change2020 (1,939 in controltotal, 1,163 of IAC, in accordance with the applicable omnibus stock and incentive plan and the related award agreements, the vesting of all then outstanding and unvested stock options and/or RSUs, as applicable, held by Messrs. Diller, Levin and Stein would have been accelerated.

              In addition,which were located in the caseUnited States and 776 of Mr. Diller only, under the Equity and Bonus Compensation Agreement, dated August 24, 1995, between the Company and Mr. Diller, we agreed that to the extent any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Mr. Diller (whether under the terms of the related agreement or otherwise) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by §4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Mr. Diller with respect to such excise tax, then Mr. Diller would be entitled to a gross-up payment covering the excise taxes and related interest and penalties. Given that Mr. Diller would not have received any payments or other benefits upon an assumed changewhich were collectively located in control of IAC at the end of 2016, the Company does not believe that any excise tax would be imposed or that any gross-up would be required.

      To identify our median employee from this employee population, as permitted by SEC rules, we selected base pay in 2020 as our consistently applied compensation measure, which we then compared across the applicable employee population. We annualized the compensation of permanent employees who were hired in 2020 but did not work for us for the entire year. After we identified the median employee, we determined such that he is no longer reporting to a Company officer with a title ofemployee’s annual total compensation in the same manner as we determined Ms. Dubey’s annual total compensation disclosed under Executive Vice President or above that reports to the Company's Chairman or Vice Chairman, in each case, without the written consent of Mr. Winiarski or that is not cured promptly after notice.Compensation—2020 Summary Compensation Table.

      On December 19, 2019, Match Group and IAC entered into a Transaction Agreement, which was amended as of April 28, 2020, and further agreedamened as of June 22, 2020 (the “Transaction Agreement”), pursuant to which the businesses of Match Group were separated from the remaining businesses of IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in two, separate public companies—(1) IAC, which was re-named “Match Group, Inc.” (referred to herein as “New Match Group”) and which owns the businesses of Former Match Group and certain Former IAC financing subsidiaries, and (2) IAC Holdings, Inc. (referred to herein as “New IAC”), which was re-named “IAC/InterActiveCorp” and which owns IAC’s other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Match Group (other than IAC) and IAC owning shares in New Match Group (such transactions referred to herein as the “Separation”). The Separation was completed on June 30, 2020.

      The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to send one set of Notice or printed proxy materials as applicable, to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family or have given their written consent (each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card). This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding,"“householding,” reduces the number of duplicate copies of proxy materials stockholders receive and reduces printing and mailing costs. Only one Notice or one set of our printed proxy materials as applicable, will be sent to stockholders eligible for householding unless contrary instructions have been provided.

      Once you have received notice that your broker or IACMatch Group will be householding your proxy materials, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or you revoke your consent. You may request a separate Notice or set of our printed proxy materials by sending a written request to Investor Relations, IAC/InterActiveCorp, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, by calling 1.212.314.7400Match Group, Inc., 8750 North Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75231, or by e-mailingsending an e-mail to ir@iac.comIR@match.com. Upon request, IACMatch Group undertakes to deliver such materials promptly.

      If at any time: (i) you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate Notice or set of our printed proxy materials as applicable, or (ii) you and another stockholder sharing the same address wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive one Notice or set of our printed proxy materials, as applicable, please notify your broker if you hold your shares in street name or IACMatch Group if you are a stockholder of record. You can notify us by sending a written request to Investor Relations, IAC/InterActiveCorp, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, by calling 1.212.314.7400Match Group, Inc., 8750 North Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75231, or by e-mailingsending an e-mail to ir@iac.comIR@match.com.

If payroll deductions are not permissible or problematic under Applicable Laws or if specifically provided in the Offering, in addition to or instead of making Contributions by payroll deductions, a Participant, if permitted by the Administrator and only on terms to be determined by the Administrator, may make Contributions through the payment by cash, check or wire transfer prior to an Exercise Date.

          6.             Contributions.

          (a)           At the time a Participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 5 hereof, he or she will elect to have Contributions made on each pay day during the Offering Period. The Enrollment Election will specify the amount of Contributions as a (whole) percentage of up to 20% of the Participant’s Compensation, or such other limit or amount determined by the Administrator in advance of an Offering. Each Participant’s Contributions will be credited to a bookkeeping account for such Participant under the Plan and will be deposited with the general funds of the Company except where Applicable Laws require that Contributions be held separately or deposited with a third party. A Participant’s Enrollment Election will remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless modified in accordance with this Section 6 or unless terminated as provided in Sections 9 or 10 hereof.

          (b)           Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in advance of an Offering:

          (i)           During any Offering Period, a Participant may not increase the rate of their Contributions.

          (ii)         During any Offering Period, a Participant may decrease the rate of their Contributions to more than zero percent (0%) two (2) times. Additionally, during any Offering Period, a Participant may decrease the rate of their Contributions to zero percent (0%), even if the Participant has previously decreased the rate of their Contributions two (2) times during the same Offering Period. Any such decrease or suspension shall be effective with the first full payroll period following ten Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the new Enrollment Election (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator for the applicable Offering). In the event a Participant suspends their Contributions, such Participant’s Contributions prior to the suspension shall remain in their account and shall be applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the next occurring Exercise Date and shall not be paid to such Participant unless their participation in the Plan terminates pursuant to Sections 9 or 10 hereof.

          (iii)          During such period determined by the Administrator prior to an applicable Enrollment Date, a Participant may increase or decrease the rate of their Contributions to become effective as of the beginning of the respective Offering Period, subject to the limitations of the Plan and applicable Offering.

          (iv)          Any increase or decrease in a Participant’s rate of Contributions requires the Participant to submit a new Enrollment Election on or before a date determined by the Administrator. If a Participant has not followed the prescribed procedures to change the rate of Contributions, the rate of their Contributions will continue at the originally elected rate throughout the then current Offering Period and future Offering Periods (unless the Participant’s participation in the Plan is terminated as pursuant to Sections 9 or 10 hereof).


          (c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(c) hereof, a Participant’s Contributions may be decreased by the Administrator to zero percent (0%) at any time during a Purchase Period. Subject to Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(c) hereof, Contributions will recommence at the rate last elected by the Participant prior to such suspension effective as of the beginning of the first Purchase Period scheduled to end in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such suspension occurred (unless the Participant’s participation in the Plan is terminated pursuant to Sections 9 or 10 hereof).

          7.             Exercise of Purchase Right.

          (a)           The Purchase Price shall equal 85% of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on (a) the applicable Offering Date and (b) the applicable Exercise Date, rounded up to the nearest cent, or such other price designated by the Administrator.

          (b)           Unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 9 or the Participant’s participation in the Plan terminates pursuant to Section 10, their Purchase Right for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on each Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares of Common Stock subject to the Purchase Right will be purchased for such Participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions from their account; provided, however, that in no event shall a Participant be permitted to purchase on each Exercise Date more than 400 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof). The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase on any Exercise Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be purchased. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any Contributions accumulated in a Participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a whole share will be retained in the Participant’s account for the succeeding Purchase Period. Any other funds left over in a Participant’s account after the Exercise Date will be returned to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable without interest (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws). During a Participant’s lifetime, a Participant’s Purchase Right hereunder is exercisable only by them.

          (c)           If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Purchase Rights are to be exercised may exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that are available for sale under the Plan, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising Purchase Rights on such Exercise Date. The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Exercise Date.

          8.             Delivery.     As soon as reasonably practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares of Common Stock occurs, the Company will arrange the delivery to each Participant of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of their Purchase Right in a form determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules established by the Administrator. The Company may permit or require that shares be deposited directly with a broker designated by the Company or to a designated agent of the Company, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The Company may require that shares of Common Stock be retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying or other dispositions of such shares. No Participant will have any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to any Purchase Right granted under the Plan until such shares of Common Stock have been purchased and delivered to the Participant as provided in this Section 8.

          9.             Withdrawal.

          (a)           A Participant may elect to withdraw from participation in the Plan by submitting to the Company or a Company Designee a written or electronic notice of withdrawal in the form determined by the Administrator for such purpose (the “Withdrawal Notice”). The Withdrawal Notice may be submitted up to ten (10) calendar days prior to an Exercise Date to take effect for the respective Purchase Period, or by such date as may be determined by the Administrator in advance of an Offering. If the Participant has properly withdrawn from the Plan, all of the Participant’s Contributions credited to their account will be paid to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable without interest (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws) after receipt of the Withdrawal Notice and such Participant’s Purchase Right for the respective Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be made for such Offering Period.


          (b)           A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect on their eligibility to participate in future Offering Periods, provided the Participant enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 hereof.

          10.           Termination and Transfer of Employment. Upon a Participants ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to such Participants account during the Offering Period but not yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be returned to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable without interest (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws), and such Participants Purchase Right will be automatically terminated. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in a manner that, with respect to an Offering under the 423 Component, is permitted by, and compliant with, Section 423 of the Code, a Participant whose employment transfers between the Company and a Designated Company or between Designated Companies through a termination with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) will not be treated as terminated under the Plan. If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Designated 423 Company to any Designated Non-423 Company, such transfer shall not be treated as a termination of employment, but the Participant shall immediately cease to participate in the 423 Component; however, any Contributions made for the Offering Period in which such transfer occurs shall be transferred to the Non-423 Component, and such Participant shall immediately join the then-current Offering under the Non-423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for the Participant’s participation in the 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants in the then-current Offering under the Non-423 Component. A Participant who transfers employment from any Designated Non-423 Company to the Company or any Designated 423 Company shall not be treated as terminating the Participant’s employment and shall remain a Participant in the Non-423 Component until the earlier of (i) the end of the current Offering Period under the Non-423 Component, or (ii) the Offering Date of the first Offering Period in which the undersigned would be entitledParticipant is eligible to vote if thenparticipate following such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between the Company, Designated 423 Companies and there personally present,Designated Non-423 Companies, consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

          11.           Interest.     No interest will accrue on the matters set forthContributions of a Participant in the Plan, except as may be required by Applicable Laws, as determined by the Company, and if so required by Applicable Laws, will apply to all Participants in the relevant Offering under the 423 Component, except to the extent otherwise permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f).

          12.           Stock.

          (a)           Subject to adjustment upon a Capitalization Adjustment as provided in Section 16(a) hereof, 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be sold pursuant to the Plan. Such shares of Common Stock may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market. For avoidance of doubt, up to the maximum number of shares reserved under this Section 12 may be used to satisfy purchases of shares of Common Stock under the 423 Component and any remaining portion of such maximum number of shares may be used to satisfy purchases of shares under the Non-423 Component.

          (b)           If any Purchase Right granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such Purchase Right shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.

          13.           Administration.     The Plan will be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee will be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. The Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to delegate ministerial duties to any of the Companys employees, to designate separate Offerings under the Plan, to designate Subsidiaries and Affiliates as participating in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component, to determine eligibility, to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan and to establish such procedures that it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, to adopt such rules, procedures, sub-plans, and appendices to the subscription agreement as are necessary or appropriate to permit the participation in the Plan by Eligible Employees who are non-U.S. nationals or employed outside the U.S., the terms of which rules, procedures, sub-plans and appendices may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 12(a) hereof, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such rules, procedures, sub-plan or appendix, the provisions of this Plan will govern the operation of such sub-plan or appendix). Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Eligible Employees eligible to participate in each sub-plan will participate in a separate Offering under the 423 Component, or if the terms would not qualify under the 423 Component, in the Non-423 Component, in either case unless such designation would cause the 423 Component to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of Contributions, making of Contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates that vary with applicable local requirements. The Administrator also is authorized to determine that, to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f), the terms of a Purchase Right granted under the Plan or an Offering to citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be less favorable than the terms of Purchase Rights granted under the Plan or the same Offering to employees resident solely in the U.S. Every finding, decision, and determination made by the Administrator will, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.


          14.           Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a Participant’s account nor any Purchase Rights under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution) by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 9 hereof.

          15.           Use of Funds.     The Company may use all Contributions received or held by it under the Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company will not be obligated to segregate such Contributions except under Offerings or for Participants in the Non-423 Component for which Applicable Laws require that Contributions to the Plan by Participants be segregated from the Company’s general corporate funds and/or deposited with an independent third party; provided, however, that, if such segregation or deposit with an independent third party is required by Applicable Laws, it will apply to all Participants in the relevant Offering under the 423 Component, except to the extent otherwise permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f).

          16.           Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control.

          (a)           Adjustments.      In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Common Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share, the class and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each Purchase Right under the Plan that has not yet been exercised, and any limitations related to shares of Common Stock imposed under the Plan.

          (b)           Dissolution or Liquidation.     In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date, and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically, prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Purchase Right has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Purchase Right will be exercised automatically on the reverse side hereof. THIS PROXY, WHEN PROPERLY EXECUTED, WILL BE VOTED AS DIRECTED OR, IF NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED, WILL BE VOTED ”FOR” EACH OF THE PROPOSALS LISTED (OR OTHERWISE CONSISTENT WITH THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION)New Exercise Date (unless the Participant’s participation in the Plan is terminated as pursuant to Sections 9 or 10 hereof).

          (c)           Change in Control.     In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Purchase Right will be assumed or an equivalent Purchase Right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the Change in Control does not include or result in a successor corporation or the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for any Purchase Right, the Offering Period with respect to which such Purchase Right relates will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date on which such Offering Period will end, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Company’s proposed Change in Control. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Purchase Right has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Purchase Right will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date (unless the Participant’s participation in the Plan is terminated as pursuant to Sections 9 or 10 hereof).

          17.           Amendment or Termination.    The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the next Exercise Date (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if determined by the Administrator in its discretion), AND IN THE DISCRETION OF THE PROXIES ON SUCH OTHER MATTERS AS MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, INCLUDING, AMONG OTHER THINGS, CONSIDERATION OF ANY MOTION MADE FOR ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT OF THE MEETING. Continuedor may elect to permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms. If the Offering Periods are terminated prior to expiration, all Contributions then credited to Participants’ accounts that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to the Participants (without interest, except as otherwise required under Applicable Laws) as soon as administratively practicable.


          18.           Notices.     All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form and manner specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

          19.           Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.     Shares of Common Stock will not be issued with respect to any Purchase Right unless the exercise of such Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto will comply with Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any Applicable Exchange, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of a Purchase Right, the Company may require the Participant exercising such Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by Applicable Laws.

          20.           Section 409A.    The 423 Component is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A, and, to the extent not exempt, is intended to comply with Section 409A and any ambiguities herein will be signed on reverse side V.1.2interpreted to so be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that an option granted under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding Purchase Right granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Administrator determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participants consent, to exempt any outstanding Purchase Right or future Purchase Right that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such Purchase Rights to comply with Section 409A, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Administrator would not violate Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any of its Parent or Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to reimburse, indemnify, or hold harmless a Participant or any other party if the Purchase Right under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto. The Company makes no representation that the Purchase Right under the Plan is compliant with Section 409A.

          21.           Tax Qualification; Tax Withholding.

          (a)           Although the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify a Purchase Right for special tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain special or to avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan.  The Company will be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants.

          (b)           Each Participant will make arrangements, satisfactory to the Company and any applicable Subsidiary or Affiliate, to enable the Company, the Subsidiary or the Affiliate to fulfill any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items. Without limitation to the foregoing, in the Company’s sole discretion and subject to Applicable Laws, such withholding obligation may be satsified in whole or in part by (i) withholding from the Participant’s salary or any other cash payment due to the Participant from the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate; (ii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company; or (iii) any other method deemed acceptable by the Administrator. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

          22.           Stockholder Approval.     The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

          23.           Governing Law.     The Plan and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

          24.           No Right to Employment.     Participation in the Plan by a Participant will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. Furthermore, the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, may dismiss a Participant from employment at any time, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan.


          25.           Severability.     If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction or as to any Participant, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as to such jurisdiction or Participant as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.

          26.           Compliance with Applicable Laws.     The terms of this Plan are intended to comply with all Applicable Laws and will be construed accordingly.
